Betty, I don't have any info on William Sparks, but I did notice a weird coincidence
about the names you are researching. I don't know how much of the Reno Gang story you
know. Check out this link for more info on them
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reno_Gang .
You'll notice that Frank Sparks was on of the men lynched as a part of that gang. And
one of the authors that wrote a book about the story was Edmond J. Boley. I don't know
if there is any connection but I guess it just goes to show you that Seymour truly was/is
a "Small Town" just like John Mellencamp said.
